E|----| RICHARD CORY----


   [Verse 1]
Em                                  D                       Dsus4  D
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town,
     Em                        B7
With political connections He spreads his wealth around.
       A7                                 A7sus4
He was born into society, a banker's only child,
       Em   D       G         A    B7               Esus4
He had everything a man could want money praise and style.


   [Verse 2]
Em                                  D                  Dsus4  D
The papers print his picture almost everyplace he goes 
         Em                B7
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at The  shows
        A7                                         A7sus4
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
   Em      D       G      A   B7                   Esus4
He Really  must be happy .... with everything he's got.


   [Chorus]
G                 Em
But I work in his factory
    Am                   Em
And I curse the life I'm living
  Am            Em
I curse my poverty
  Am                Em
I wish that I could be,
  Am                Em
I wish that I could be,
      Am7               B7
Oh, I wish that I could be,
     Em
John Denver.


   [Verse 3]
Em                              D                   Dsus4  D
He Really gave to The  charity, had the common touch,
              Em                              B7
And they were Thankful for his patronage.. So They thank You very much,
      A7                                                     A7sus4
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
Em      D         G
Richard Cory went home last night
N.C.
and put a bullet through his head

Em

   [Chorus]
G                 Em
But I work in his factory
    Am                   Em
And I curse the life I'm living
   Am           Em
I curse my poverty
  Am                Em
I wish that I could be,
  Am                Em
I wish that I could be,
      Am7               B7
Oh, I wish that I could be,
        Em    Am7  B7  Em
